Steve Bailey and The Blue Flames

Hop On Board 
“Based in Seattle for the past three decades,
Steve Bailey & the Blue Flames generate capable blues with an upbeat
rock edge.... Bailey's harp playing is catchy, particularly on Steve's
Harmonica Boogie, and he and his second guitarist (Tim Sherman or
Doug Kearney) form a tight team. The rest of the band gives and
equally disciplined performance on a set. Tunes including touches
of swing, cajun and boogie.” - PJK, Living Blues
“Seattle harmonica virtuoso Steve Bailey wastes no time in
setting ears on fire with Hop on Board (Blues Leaf 9806) jammed
full of extraordinary harp lines. He stills, double-tongues, bends
notes like a torqued-off blacksmith, screams between tiffs - the
man is serious. Bailey’s a great singer and slide guitarist, too.
Best cut: The whole disc is over-the-top smooth, but opener ”Steve’s
Harmonica Boogie” bursts with raw-nerve energy.” - Blues Revue
